Safe Harbor 401(k)s in 2026: Practical Planning Strategies for CPAs Before Year-End

This webinar equips CPAs and accounting professionals to understand and discuss Safe Harbor 401(k) plans as both a valuable retirement benefit for their own firms and a proactive planning strategy for business clients in 2026.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how Safe Harbor 401(k) plans can support workforce retention, simplify compliance, and enhance long-term retirement outcomes for both their firms and their clients.
